Two men accused of cocaine possession were arrested in Wayne, but one allegedly tried to hide the evidence in a conspicuous spot: inside a police car.

William L. Clark, 53, of Paterson tried to hide a small amount of cocaine in the rear passenger seat of the police car once he was placed inside Tuesday, according to Wayne Capt. Laurence Martin. Clark and Eric G. Seegers, 59, of Clifton were stopped on Route 80 after driving away from the Kings Motor Inn on Route 46 in Wayne, Martin said.

Seegers, the driver, was seen with white powder on his nose and was fidgety and unable to stay still, Martin said. Officers found over 8 ounces of cocaine and about $6,700 in suspected drug money.

Officer Ryan Vallaro found the Jeep Patriot parked illegally at the Kings Motor Inn, and Seegers cut off several other vehicles when he merged onto Route 46, Martin said.

Both men were charged with various drug possession offenses. Clark was also charged with hindering apprehension, and Seegers was charged with several motor vehicle offenses.
